Executive Summary

Technological advancements made in the global market for satellites and space

The market players are developing various innovations to improve satellites' capabilities, which support the growth of many industries. For instance, in January 2021, SpaceX launched a Falcon 9 rocket from Cape Canaveral carrying 143 miniature satellites. Satellite producers could reduce the size of the satellites while boosting their functioning due to the advancement of space technology. Similarly, in June 2021, the EUTELSAT Quantum satellite was built and sent to Airbus Defense and Space's facility in Kourou, French Guiana, where it will be launched by an Ariane 5 rocket. The great degree of customization and flexibility in inter-orbital maneuvers, together with the improvement of supply services due to previously unheard-of in-orbit configurability in terms of power, coverage, and frequency, will revolutionize the commercial satellite industry. Thus, these launches of innovative satellites are expected to support market growth during the forecast timeframe.

Key investments by the players in the satellite and space markets

The market players and governments of many countries are investing heavily in space programs to enhance defense capabilities, which aids the growth of the satellite and space markets.

The Lockheed Martin-built $1 billion satellite is intended to recognize and monitor missile launch plumes worldwide with its onboard infrared sensors. The U.S. will be able to get ready for any impending attacks thanks to its capabilities.

Some major players in the market are Intelsat, S.E.S. S.A., Eutesat Communications S.A., Airbus S.A.S., Lockheed Martin Corporation, Thales Group, Boeing, Orbital Sciences Corporation, Millennium Space Systems, Inc., and Planet Labs Inc.

Main market drivers for satellites and space

The rising need for mobile satellite services and small satellites for earth observation services around the energy, defense, and agriculture industries are factors increasing the space and satellite market's growth. Additionally, satellites are usually artificial machines set to orbit Earth from space and provide functionality. The increasing demand for satellites from commercial, government, and other sectors is expected to increase due to the satellite technologies used by military forces across the globe to increase their defense resources. Furthermore, the increasing financial support by the government for research and development is also a major factor in the satellite and space market's growth.

Major risks for the satellite and space market

The high cost associated with the components is the major restraint on the satellite and space market. The high cost is required for new space network stations and relevant space infrastructure. Moreover, the instability of satellite and space prices is also a factor that restrains the satellite and space market's growth during the forecast period.
